What a helpful interview for authors and storytellers. The advice Scot shares on best practices is priceless - "Setting the Stage" so the audience immediately understands the context, what they are looking at - the importance of the opening scene, having relatable characters that draw you in without having to explain-your-way into their life. I love the third comment about what you put on the page vs. the vision in your mind challenges authors face - does your written word represent the wonderful cinematic experience in your head. I'd love to hear more advice on how authors can work through that challenge. Thanks Scot and Angela for sharing this gem!
